Just updated Canuck CP to Version 1.0.4.

The main change was to ensure the contact-page template does not load the contact form unless the option to Use Simple Contact Form is checked. Please check your contact form if you are using it. I found that I had to reset the option in Customize->Canuck CP General->Simple Contact Form : check the Use Simple Contact Form off, then on, and then click publish. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Just released Canuck CP Black, a child theme for the Canuck CP ClassicPress Theme. This theme is a black background based presentation of the Canuck CP theme. You can download it in the Canuck CP Black page.

Canuck CP uses Google Fonts and internet fonts. You can use a different font for Headers, Body text and Page Titles.

At the moment there are 33 fonts to choose from. I have done it this way because I feel that these fonts should be good for most users, and sticking in a list of all the Google Fonts is certainly overwhelming. Now if you find that the font you want is to use is not listed, I can set it up in the next update. The only requirement is that it be in the Google font library.

Please feel free to contact me with the font you would like to use, and I will try and get it in the next update.

Canuck CP uses FontAwesome svg icons. I went this way to save on file size and speed, when displaying an icon.

I use these icons throughout the theme, for post meta, more links and the home page sections. Many of the home page sections allow you to use a font icon as the main service box image.

Of course I did not include all the font icon svg’s. At this point there are 132 of these icons used in Canuck CP.

Now if you are setting up a home page and need a specific icon included, let me know, and I may be able to add it in the next update. Note that there is a limit of what I will include. At this point I am thinking that 200 would be the cut off. You can see all the icons at Free FontAwesome Icons

The list of icons I include will be in a drop down list in any of the sections used for the Home Page Builder. Needless to say, if you are using Canuck CP and can’t find the icon you need, contact me, and I will see what I can do for you.

Canuck CP is now released to the public.

This theme was based on the Canuck WordPress theme hosted on WordPress.org. Anything related to Guttenberg has been removed. The new theme has been greatly modified from the Canuck theme. Post formats were removed. A simple Contact form was added and Simple sharing for Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest was added.

Contact Forms have never been allowed in the WordPress theme repository. I tend to agree with that, except for simple contact forms. The contact form for Canuck CP is Author, email, website, and comments only. This will suffice for many of the themes users and I feel it is a much better option then a bulky plugin set up for any contact form imaginable.

Canuck CP also comes with an extensive home page builder. There are up to 15 sections available, that can be stacked in any order. The sections all come with documented options in the Customizer so users should be able to set up great looking landing pages. Again this feature allows you to avoid the significant bulk and learning curves that page builder plugins have.

There are 6 possible blog layouts, and full meta control for your blog.
